Keep up the pressure on Audit The Fed

From Rand2016:

After 100 years of the Fed's secretive policies, I think it's about time you and I pull back the curtain and take a peek at exactly what the Fed is doing.

Even after all the bailouts and the economic stagnation Americans have suffered through, too many in Washington are eager to look the other way on Fed accountability.

With your help, that stops.

By placing a hold on Janet Yellen's nomination to succeed Ben Bernanke as chair of the Federal Reserve, you and I have our best chance yet to force a vote on my Audit the Fed bill (S. 209).

But I'm going to need your help to crank up the pressure on my colleagues.

Only a grassroots uprising will force wavering senators to take action to prevent the Fed from further mangling our economy.

I need to prove to my colleagues that the grassroots are FURIOUS with their refusal to hold the Fed accountable for their failed easy-money policies that choked off economic growth.

Will you stand with me in the fight to force a vote on Audit the Fed?

If you agree, it's vital you sign your "Audit the Fed" petition right away.

The truth is, ever since the financial crisis of 2008 – which the Fed’s easy-money policies helped create in the first place – the Fed’s economic central planning strategy has boiled down to this:

Print now. Ask questions later.

That alone has made many Americans nervous. Printing money out of thin air to pay the bills ultimately leads to fiscal disaster.

Not only that, but many Americans were shocked to learn the Fed has doled out more than one TRILLION in U.S. dollars to foreign banks.

What else have they been up to? What else are they hiding?

Sadly, since much of the Fed’s actions are “off limits” to the public, you and I can only guess.

We’re just supposed to look the other way and trust them not to misbehave.

Whether it’s the IRS targeting Tea Party organizations, the Justice Department’s wiretapping of reporters who dared to criticize President Obama – or the NSA admitting to thousands of privacy violations after assuring us there were none – more and more Americans are now understanding just how foolish it would be.

The fact is, nearly 80% of the American people agree the Fed should be audited.

With your help, my Audit the Fed Bill will finally expose the Federal Reserve’s:

***Aiding and abetting big spending politicians in Congress by simply printing more money to pay the bills – destroying the dollar and driving the costs of housing, food, gasoline, higher education and medical care sky-high – when all of Washington, D.C.’s taxing and borrowing still don’t make ends meet;

***Corruption and cronyism and the incredible power the unelected financiers wield over our economy;

***Interest-rate manipulation, “Quantitative Easing,” and secret bailouts, which instead "paper over" economic problems and lead to worse conditions down the line – instead of improving economic conditions as some would have you believe.

That’s why it’s so critical you act NOW.

The Janet Yellen nomination will put the Federal Reserve in the spotlight like never before.

Will my colleagues in the Senate really stand up and say “NO!” to auditing the Federal Reserve?

It’s up to you and me to act right away.

So please sign your "Audit the Fed" petition and make a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or $35 to help me mobilize the grassroots to demand their senators hold the Fed accountable.

If that is too much for you to afford, please chip in a contribution of $25 or $10.

Your generosity will help me mobilize Americans all over the country through email, direct mail, online and social media ads to turn up the heat on Congress to Audit the Fed.

Whether it’s stopping President Obama’s march to war in Syria, stopping gun control or forcing the administration’s hand over drone strikes within our borders, you’ve proven your action makes a difference.

Now it’s time to turn our focus on EXPOSING the Federal Reserve.

So please contribute as generously as you can to help force a vote on my Audit the Fed Bill at once!

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

P.S. For 100 years the Fed has escaped accountability for their destructive policies.

But to force my colleagues to take action on Fed transparency, I'm going to need your immediate help.

So please sign your "Audit the Fed" petition and make a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or $35 to help me mobilize the grassroots to urge the senate to take action.

If that is too much for you to afford, please chip in a contribution of $25 or $10.

With your support, I’m convinced we can create the grassroots tidal wave it will take to force a vote on my Audit the Fed Bill (S. 209) in the U.S. Senate.
